Effective teachers are leaders who make a positive difference in classrooms, schools, and society. They are also lifelong learners who remain current in research-based educational resources, advancements, and practices. In this course, educators are introduced to the standards, dispositions, and proficiencies guiding the practices of teacher-leaders and engage in self-reflection of their own teaching experiences. By defining their professional identities and synthesizing resources, education professionals create individual learning and professional goal plans outlining what they want to know and be able to do at the conclusion of their master's degree journey.
